INFINITI USA reports 2021 first quarter sales
Just for reference, Infiniti once again has suffered a 25% YTD sales drop for the first quarter of 2021. This is very worrisome for Infiniti as this is the fourth first quarter YTD sales loss for the brand since 2018.
Q1 2018 experienced a 6.1% sales drop, Q2 2019 experienced a 16.1% loss, and Q1 2020 experienced a 25% loss. While this was expected for 2020 due to the beginning of the pandemic and closing of dealers, as well as less consumer spending, numerous automotive companies this year however are reporting quarter one sales gains of up to triple digits.
The only car in Infiniti's lineup to post an increase in sales was the QX50 SUV, with every other vehicle in Infiniti's lineup presenting a loss of double digits in YTD sales.
